Bioinformatics involves gaining biological insights by utilizing advanced computational methods to structure, handle, and analyze biological information. These bioinformatics approaches play a crucial role in addressing urgent medical and pharmaceutical challenges. The Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Graduate Program offers two specialized pathways with interconnected faculty and curriculum: Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BISB) and Biomedical Informatics (BMI). While students select one primary track initially, they retain the flexibility to change tracks during their studies. Both tracks mandate four foundational Core Courses (typically finished in the first year) along with 16 elective units from designated areas, to be completed within the initial two years.
